Slipspace is NOT a faster then light technology, its a wormhole. If you take a piece of paper, imagine its the galaxy, and pretend a little grain of sand is your ship, getting from one end to the other naturally will take a long time.
If you bend the paper, you cut the distance in half.
A wormhole is not a Faster then light technology, its a portal, more or less, a gatway or shortcut across the universe. You're still traveling at the same speed as always.
It's not technically a portal either. Slipspace is a 11 dimensional place where laws of normal physics don't apply. That's the reason you can travel faster than light in there. It's existence is unknown and it's a 50/50 chance that it exists or doesn't exist.
Contact Harvest describes it as nothing more then a wormhole, or space shortcut. Having played the sh1t out of Portal 2 recently, it has become imbedded in my mind that dimensional shortcut=portal.
But I have seen no evidence to suggest it is an 11 dimensional plane. If it were, the human mind would likely melt because it would be unable to comprehend it, and time travel would be done all he time (with time being dimension 4).
Time travel is impossible by the way. Paradox theory.
You can travel to the future, but you cannot in no way get back.
Einsteins theory of relativity states that there is an infinite amount of alternate realities and universes. So slipspace from this is possible, just about finding the right reality i guess.
